Charlotte Heal runs her eponymous design studio in North London. Best known for her work on The Kinfolk Home book and for redesigning the cult magazine Kinfolk, Charlotte’s considered and intelligent approach is clearly reflected in the work she does, which has a refreshingly clean aesthetic, anchored by a resounding depth that ensures her work […]

Perfectly melding the architectural splendour of a beautiful original building, with Art Deco additions and iconic décor design icons, Bethnal Green’s Town Hall Hotel is my favourite overnight interior to date – it’s a serving of utmost comfort with a generous side of sky-high style. A famous filming location, the hotel also boasts multiple event […]

It’s so refreshing when a restaurant breaks the mould to create something novel and spectacular. The Palomar opened last year on a nondescript street in London’s West End, and ticked all the boxes so completely that it was seemingly all anyone could talk about! The Palomar does have a smart restaurant area at the back, […]

With the success of Spitalfields speakeasy Discount Suit Co in mind, it was with great excitement that I watched the same team of drink aficionados unveil The Sun Tavern in Bethnal Green. The refurbishment has maintained the East End boozer’s historic charm – bare brickwork, original 19th century tiling and a copper bar come together […]

Corner Room is tucked away inside Bethnal Green’s Town Hall Hotel, so you have to know about it to find it (you can thank me later!). And it certainly is one to add to your little black book. The interior is dominated by reclaimed pendant lights, no two the same; furniture is homely and the […]

Matt Whiley is a bit of a cocktail celeb here in London. With bars such as Talented Mr. Fox and Purl under his belt, he’s known for his experimental approach to mixology. In fact it’s common for his bars to look more like science labs, with bottles and potions bubbling and steaming behind the bar, […]

If you find yourself on an industrial street in Hackney, you probably won’t realise your proximity to one of the most beautiful brunch spots in London. Bistrotheque is totally unmarked from the outside, so you’re going to need some gumption to stroll on in through the unmarked door and up the stairs. When you reach […]
